mobo died bother with DC?

[Pwndenburg]

I have a locked i7 4770 . Cooling would likely do at least 4.5. You think I should bite or pass?

Yea thats what i was thinking..... meh not even worth disscussing lol.

OK, trying to figure out what you're talking about here...

You have a working (?) 4770 non-K? Your mobo died? And you're saying you have some kind of better-than-average CPU cooler? And you're considering Devil's Canyon?

Why are you considering a new CPU? Shouldn't you be looking at a new mobo first? Is it a question of whether to get an overclocking mobo or not? How many sticks of RAM did you have?

And what do/did you plan to do with this machine?

And if you need a computer right now, you can choose a Haswell, or a Haswell-E or go AMD. Going with an Ivy Bridge or a Broadwell are not choices ATM. If you can wait, though . . .

Yeah, I'm confused also. Is this about your board dying or running DC? What exactly is your question?

I'm assuming you mean OC (over clocking) and not DC (Distributed Computing)

Sorry, i have a working 4770 non k. Now ive got a z97 mobo. just wanted to get opinions on the worth of upgrading. Also, I know they are the the same socket. But is there a possible compatibility issues if i choose to keep the 4770 dc meant devils canyon using a console controller to type. sorry for confusing post

Already bought a replacement z97 for failed z87 and it was doa. im awaiting the new mobo now

I don't think the 4770 is Devil's Canyon. I believe that's only the 4690K and 4790k.

If you get a 4790K, you're probably not going to get much out of it from overclocking, as it comes from the factory with a max turbo of 4.4ghz. There seems to be little point in having a Z-series chipset with that particular chip, to me.

The clockspeed difference is ~12%. That's probably less than what's perceivable. Personally, I wouldn't bother.

Thx thats i am going to do. just hope the z97 does fine with the 4770. Already in the mail.
